Yes he's correct for the wrong reasons, the tale is quite the satirical writing. thank goodness we can simplify it to drooling levels with a rage comic format

that's an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn't a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.

It's... The common read, isn't it? Like Voltaire's Candide?

That it's satire, sure, that those are the messages, no.

Well, the anti-religion angle, yes
